Magnet Boy

Gameplay is really stressful, i like it!

You really get thrown right into the gameplay. Simple game with cute graphics, collect all the things and don't blow up! On theme. I like the lose screen, the pixel art has a charm to it. Good job!

Simple but fun game! The music is great and I love the art style. Very on theme.

@evelyn-rudaleva Thank you. We didn't want it to be too easy!

@gold-daniel Yes, simple game loops are what we like to do for game jams

@kamilah Thank you!

Very charming! Cute and fun

No idea if 6904 is a good score but I finally managed to not blow up XD Great work, I enjoyed it!

@matthew-rose Yes, that score is good! I can get around 7000

Really cool to highlight whats being pulled in. There is a LOT going on though and it can get kinda hard to track the bombs. Maybe try having the items and bombs be a bit bigger and reducing the number of objects at once, or maybe give the bombs different colored highlights so its quicker to discern from the jewels. The music is very good as well :) Very good entry!

The effect of the bomb is amazing!

Nice job!

Nice entry! The magnet character is funny :laughing:
It was difficult at first but I won after a few tries.
Staying at the bottom of the screen is safer but it makes it harder to collect points I guess!

Yep, this game really makes you sweat ;D I downed two cans of White Monster before diving into this, or my reactions simply wouldn’t have been fast enough. Thanks for the experience, and best of luck with future development!

P.S. It’s funny, but it reminds me of the old game ‘Heuoptes’ for some reason xDDD

7395 got it in the second try :) good job! played some more and funny surprises when you run from a bomb and it comes back with an arch hitting you when you thought you were safe haha

@yopox If we had more time we would implement more incentives to prioritize collecting coins and jewels.

@truedat Nice score!

Quite a fun game! In my first attempts, I was running around all the bombs, thinking I could dodge them all, but always failing within 30 seconds. Then I started playing more passively at the bottom, and this worked really well. Since the valuables do no disappear, there seems to be no punishment for waiting around? Or maybe that means less valuables will appear in total, I don't know.

The music is very fitting and just sounds great. It's still going in the background while I am typing this. :D

Very well done!

Fast, funny, good!!!!

Thanks for the gaming experience!

Simple and nice!

Aww, the mechanic of collecting things while using a magnet is so clever! Good use of the theme

stressfull game play, I love it ! I blew up a few times but I got 7000 points! Nice work!!

Fun idea, cute character, funky music, this was great - I made it all the way through but I was definitely stressin out by the end!

Always a fan of a mechanic that's both a blessing and a curse. Really cute art and I love the music!

@pengu123 Me too! Glad you enjoyed it

Really tight game loop! Love the art, music and the little character. Feels really nicely polished and I had a great time playing. Nice job!

Nice! Music was boppin'

Fun game, nicely balanced too. Tricky without being impossibly fustrating.

Pretty fun game. The bombs were sometimes a little hard to see against the dark background, but overall it seemed pretty good.

Cute and interesting art style, addicting gameplay and interesting concept. Love it!
